WINNING WICHITA'S WAY.

If the people of Topeka want to know
the great secret of success in Wichita, they
can learn by going there and spending q
few days, or by reading the papers pub
lished there The true secret is, they act
as one man. When they elect man to
Office they stand by him, and uphold and
don't try to break him down by silly fault
findings. If disposition is shown to get
up cliques of opposing interests, the parties
engaged in it are generally sat down upon.
Why, if men would do there as they do
here, get up row over the appointment
of officers, grumble about the blockade of
streets caused by improving them, or OPP
pose public improvements, they would
either be run out of town or hung to g
lamp post. Commonwealth.

WICHITA THE NEW CHICAGO.

A Chicago paper ventures the prediction
that there will be another Chicago in the
southwest. AS soon as Gen. Murdoch,
of the EAGLE, learns Of this prophecy he
will assert that Wichita is the only place
that can be referred to. and with taffy-col-
ored locks wildly waving he will grasp a
pen made from tail-feather of the eagle
and yawp for the instantaneous plating OF
more Acknowledgment News.
In the first place, sir, that is not our
rank; we haven't been promoted yet, and
in the second, next and last place we will
not be likely to yawp over matter that
was given to the world by ourself and from
whom the Chicago paper took its cue.
Thousands of readers of the EAGLE knew
not only that there would be another Chi
cago somewhere in the southwest long be-
fore the Chicago paper mentioned its pre-
diction, but knew just as well as the Chi
cago paper knew that place to be Wichita.

ASHLAND.

To the Editor of tie Eagle.
Clark county is coming. Another good
rain yesterday dispelled al doubts as to our
having a good crop year.
Two lines of railroad are now throwing
dirt in this county. The Mulvane extern
sion of the Santa Fe is grading from Pro-
lection to Ashland, and the Rock Island is
grading through the north part of the
county near Appleton.
Mr.. R. W. Spar, who has contract for
seventeen miles of the Santa Fe in this
county, was in the city this week and says
the road will be completed to Ashland by
August 1.
Mr.. r. D. Coldren, the right Of way man
for same line, came in yesterday.
Mr.. Wiley, of Richie & Co., architects,
of Winfield. is in the city this week clos
ing the contract for our high school build
ing. the foundation of which is already
completed. He is also preparing the plans
and specifications for full block which
will be built just south of the Ashland
house on North Main street.
A stock company is being organized with
capital of S25, 900 to build a hotel with
all modern conveniences.
The lumber yards of Bullen s Deeds has
been removed from the corner of Main
street and Ninth avenue to make room for
brick block with a hundred feet front.
The Clark County Bank will open its
doors as the the First National on the Both
inst. with o. C. Ewa-t, Pres, and Geo.
Heis, jr cashier.
The Santa Fe road has signifled its in
tention to make division at this point if
the necessary grounds for shops and side
tracks can be secured, and that the city
will furnish. So Ashland secures both the
junction and division.
City property is very current, both III
side and outside lots. Three new addi-
tons to the city have just been surveyed
and plated embracing two hundred sores.
Our County Commissioners are having
plans drawn for court house to be erected
st once with ire-proof vault, as our rec
ords are now entirely unprotected,
The EAGLE has had two representatives
in the city this week, Mr.. Mcmillan and
Mr.. Dilday. The latter secured list of

WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTOY

To The Editor of the Eagle.
We had hoped when you kindly gave
space to an article closing the existence OF
the temporary Woman's Association, our
part in the work was finished. We ex-
pected justice would be allotted to the
woman citizens, through complete returns,
sent to the official organs of the Womans
Suffrage Associations by the local officers
of the Wichita Suffrage Club-n it con-
tipued to exist. Since then numerous
leading papers, mostly out of our grand
state, that oppose the manner In which
Kansas transacts her business, have scatter
ed broadcast false dispatches, and caused
misleading statements to be made OF the
proportion of honorable women partici-
pating in the late city election. OF course
this is one means of free advertising on the
mooted question, and will cause an arrest
of thought on the subject.
1t is somewhat singular that almost will.

gressive step maintained the same attitude
when Kansas spoke to that foul thing, hui
man slavery, preparing to take possession
of her fair domain, ''Thus far shalt thou
come and no farther" and again the opPo-
site side of the question, when Kansas with
her eyes fixed on the stars, said to that &C.
cursed monster-the liquor traffic-"Thou
shalt not legally fasten thy fangs on my
sons and my daughters" and still again,
when Kansas over whose vast domain rests
the star of destiny, said unto her trustful,
patient daughters, "Arise, and help cast
the evil from our borders

find the following: "a few years ago they

everything would run that way. But things

ANTI-SALOON REPUBLICANS.
ANNE NJ. TAYLOR,
President w. G. T. L,

Hon. Albert Griffin, chairman of the
Anti-Saloon Republican National commit
tee of New York, has called public meet
ing to be held in Cooper union, New York,
on Wednesday, May %, under the auspices
of the Anti-Saloon Republican National
committee 1t will be presided over by
Elk Chief Justice Noah Davis, supported
by large number of prominent Republi-
cans as vice presidents, and will be address
ed by Hon. VIM. Evarts, Hon. Stewart l..
Woodford, Hon Theodore Roosevelt, and
others
Mr.. Griffin in his call says: Most true
Republicans have long been so indignant
at the domineering and corrupting influ-
ence of the saloon, IN politics as well as in
social life, that they have been restrained
from making war on it only by the con-
viction that the public mind was not
ready for decisive action. 1t is now, how
ever. evident to most intelligent, dispas-
sionate observers, that the time has arrived
when the republican party should and
must and will be placed upon az unequivo-
cal anti-saloon platform. Even though
some may deem this unfortunate,
the fact remains that the issue can not
longer be evaded. The practical question
before us. as Republicans, is, how can it be
met so as to secure the maximum OF gain
with the minimum of loss? This can be
done by securing public expressions of
opinion at once from enough OF the lnf1u-
| entail members Of the party who favor q
| forward movement, and have the moral
courage and devotion to principle which
marks the real leader to make it evident
that where they go the party will follow:
| To secure such an expression, and
TO reduce the responsibility in each
case as much as possible, similar invita-
tions TO this one have been sent to large
number of leading Republicans In all parts
of the country, and if those who have an
nounced their hostility to the saloon IN
private will generally respond there will be
| little or no further controversy as to what
the general policy of the party shall be In
the future-the question as TO the specihc
measures TO be adopted from time 10 time
being left to the various state legislatures
and to congress.
